A major plus point
Schneider Electric has integrated a functional organization into each of its units,
the main purpose of which is to check quality and ensure the adherence to
standards.
This procedure is:
the same throughout the different departments
recognized by numerous approved customers and organizations.
Above all, it is our strict application of this functional organization that has enabled
us to obtain the recognition of an independent organization, the French Association
for Quality Assurance (Association Franaise pour lAssurance Qualit, or (AFAQ).
The RM6 design and production quality system has been certified as being
in conformity with the requirements of the ISO 9001: 2008 quality assurance
model.
Rigorous, systematic checks
During the manufacture of each RM6, it undergoes systematic routine tests,
the aim of which is to check quality and conformity:
tightness check
filling pressure check
opening and closing speed measurement
operating torque measurement
partial discharge check
dielectric check
conformity with drawings and diagrams.
The quality control department records and signs the results obtained on the test
certificate for each device.
There is zero SF6 emission during the gas filling and tightness control
process.

RM6 switchgear description
The RM6 range
RM6 switchgear comprises 2, 3, 4 or 5 directionnal connections integrated, low dimension functional units.
This self-contained, totally insulated unit comprises:
a stainless steel, gas-tight metal enclosure, sealed for life, which groups together the live parts, switch-disconnector, earthing switch,
fuse switch or the circuit breaker
one to four cable compartments with interfaces for connection to the network or to the transformer
a low voltage cabinet
an electrical operating mechanism cabinet
a fuse chamber compartment for fused switch-disconnectors or fuse switches.
A range that is extensible on site
When harsh climatic conditions or environmental
restrictions make it necessary to use compact
switchgear, but the foreseeable evolution of the power
distribution network makes it necessary to provide
for future changes, RM6 offers a range of extensible
switchgear.
The addition of one or more functional units can
be carried out by simply adding modules that are
connected to each other at busbar level by directed
field bushings.
This very simple operation can be carried out on-site:
without handling any gas
without any special tooling
without any particular preparation of the floor.
The only technical limitation to the evolution of an
extensible RM6 switchboard is therefore the rated
current acceptable by the busbar: 630 A at 40C.
Insensitivity to the environment
Complete insulation
A metal enclosure made of stainless steel, which
is unpainted and gas-tight (IP67), contains the live
parts of the switchgear and the busbars.
Three sealed fuse chambers, which are
disconnectable and metallized on the outside,
insulate the fuses from dust, humidity...
Metallization of the fuse chambers and directed
field terminal connectors confines the electrical
field in the solid insulation.
Taken together, the above elements provide
the RM6 with genuine total insulation which makes
the switchgear completely insensitive to environmental
conditions, dust, extreme humidity, temporary soaking.
(IP67: immersion for 30 minutes, as laid down in
IEC standard 60529, 14.2.7).
The performance characteristics obtained by the RM6 meet the definition
of a sealed pressure system laid down in the IEC recommendations.
The switch-disconnector and the earthing switch offer the operator all necessary
usage guarantees:
Tightness
The enclosure is fi lled with SF6 at a 0.2 bar gauge pressure. It is sealed for life
after filling. Its tightness, which is systematically checked at the factory, gives
the switchgear an expected lifetime of 30 years. No maintenance of live parts
is necessary with the RM6 breaking.
Switch-disconnector
Electrical arc extinction is obtained using the SF6 puffer technique.
Circuit breaker
Electrical arc extinction is obtained using the rotating arc technique plus SF6
auto-expansion, allowing breaking of all currents up to the short-circuit current.

Safety of people
The RM6 range
Switchgear
Switch-disconnectors and circuit breakers have
similar architecture:
a moving contact assembly with 3 stable
positions (closed, open and earthed) moves
vertically (see sketch). Its design makes
simultaneous closing of the switch or circuit
breaker and the earthing switch impossible.
the earthing switch has a short-circuit making
capacity, as required by the standards.
the RM6 combines both the isolating and
interrupting function.
the earth collector has the correct dimensions for
the network.
access to the cable compartment can be
interlocked with the earthing switch and/or
the switch or circuit breaker.
The electrical and mechanical operating
mechanisms are located behind a front
plate displaying the mimic diagram of
the switchgear status (closed, open, earthed):
closing: the moving contact assembly is
manipulated by means of a fast-acting operating
mechanism. Outside these manipulations,
no energy is stored. For the circuit breaker
and the fuse-switch combination, the opening
mechanism is charged in the same movement
as the closing of the contacts.
opening: opening of the switch is carried
out using the same fast-acting mechanism,
manipulated in the opposite direction. For the
circuit breaker and fuse-switch combination,
opening is actuated by:
a pushbutton
a fault.
earthing: a specific operating shaft closes and
opens the earthing contacts. The hole providing
access to the shaft is blocked by a cover which
can be opened if the switch or circuit breaker is
open, and remains locked when it is closed.
switchgear status indicators: are placed
directly on the moving contact assembly
operating shafts. They give a definite indication
of the position of the switchgear (attachment A of
IEC standard 62271-102).
operating lever: this is designed with an anti-
reflex device which prevents any attempt to
immediately reopen the switch-disconnector or
the earthing switch after closing.
padlocking facilities: 1 to 3 padlocks can be
used to prevent:
access to the switch or circuit breaker operating shaft
access to the earthing switch operating shaft
operation of the opening pushbutton.
Earthing switch closed position indicators:
these are located on the upper part of the RM6.
They can be seen through the transparent earthing
covers, when the earthing switch is closed.
Internal arc withstand
The robust, reliable and environmentally
insensitive design of the RM6 makes it highly
improbable that a fault will appear inside the
switchgear. Nevertheless, in order to ensure
maximum personal safety, the RM6 is designed
to withstand an internal arc supplied by a rated
short-circuit current for 1 second, without any
danger to the operator.
Accidental overpressure due to an internal arc
is limited by the opening of the safety valve,
at the bottom of the metal enclosure. The internal
arc withstand of the tank is of 20 kA 1 s.
With the option of the internal arc in cable
compartment, the RM6 cubicle has an internal arc
withstand up to 20 kA 1 s, which meets all
the criteria of IAC class A-FL as defined by
IEC 62271-200 standard, appendix A. The gas
is released to the rear or to the bottom of the RM6
without affecting conditions in the front. When
the gas is exhausted to the rear, the maximum
internal arc withstand is of 16 kA 1 s. In case
the gas is exhausted to the bottom, the internal
arc withstand is up to 20 kA 1 s.

The RM6 is boosted by the DE-Mt module
This air-insulated cubicle is ftted with conventional current transformers and voltage transformers enabling invoicing of MV power. It has an
internal arc withstand and is integrated in the RM6 unit by a direct connection to the adjacent busbars.
Increased environmental insensitivity
By eliminating risks related to MV cables (incorrect connection, non-
compliance with radius of curvature between two adjacent cubicles, etc...).
Completely closed module (no opening to the bottom, no ventilation grid).
Factory tested module.
A clear separation between MV and LV
Everything is done to avoid having to act on the MV compartment.
The secondary of CT and VTs are cabled to the customer terminal in an LV
compartment.
This LV compartment enables:
connection to a remote power meter (in another room)
or connection to the LV unit mounted on the LV compartment (option).
An LV unit adapted to your requirements
This unit allows the installation of active power meters, a reactive power meter,
and all auxiliaries for monitoring current, voltage and consumed power.

* Short-circuit protection, no over-load protection
Schneider Electric recommends circuit breakers for
transformer protection instead of fuses.
They offer the following advantages:
b Easy to set
b Better discrimination with other MV and LV
protection devices
b Improved protection performance for inrush currents,
overloads, low magnitude phase faults and earth
faults
b Greater harsh climate withstand
b Reduced maintenance and spare parts
b Availability of additional functions such as
measurement, diagnostics and remote monitoring
b And with the recent development of low cost circuit
breakers and self-powered relays, life time costs are
now equivalent to those of traditional MV switch fuse
solutions.

High sensitivity sensors
VIP integrated protection system
The VIP integrated protection system is composed of sensors, a processing unit and
an actuator, designed together to provide the highest level of reliability and sensitivity
from 0.2 A to 20 In for VIP 400, VIP 410 and 5 A to 20 In for VIP 40 and VIP 45.
Sensors
The sensors are made up of one block of three CTs with rated and insulation
voltages of 0.72 kV / 3 kV - 1 min, providing both measurement and power outputs.
b The measurement sensor is based on Low Power Current Transformer (LPCT)
technology as defned by standard IEC 60044-8, ensuring excellent accuracy:
v 5P30 for protection
v class 1 for measurement.
b The power supply winding ensures calibrated self-powering of the relay even for
currents of just a few Amperes
v e.g. 7 A is suffcient for operation of the VIP 400 with a 200 A circuit breaker,
up to its saturation level
v e.g. 4 A is for operation of the VIP 40 up to its saturation level.
b Optionally, the VIP 410 can be associated with an earth fault current transformer
(a single zero-sequence CT) dedicated to sensitive earth fault protection with a low
threshold down to 0.2 A.
Actuators
b The actuator is a dedicated low power tripping coil (Mitop) specifcally designed
to operate with the sensors and the processing unit with minimum energy.
b The integrity of the Mitop circuit is continuously supervised
(Trip Circuit Supervision function).
Connection diagrams
The VIP series is an integrated protection system:
b Dedicated sensors located under the core unit
provide protection and measurement outputs
b Optional additional earth fault sensors are available
b Actuators are low power tripping coils (Mitop).

Transformer protection by fuse-switches
Characteristics
Ratings for fuses for transformer protection depend, among other points,
on the following criteria:
b service voltage
b transformer rating
b thermal dissipation of the fuses
b fuse technology (manufacturer).
Type of fuse may be installed:
b Fusarc CF type: according to IEC 60282-1 dimensional standard,
with or without striker.
Example (using the selection table below) general case, for protection of a 400 kVA
transformer at 10 kV, Fusarc CF fuses with a rating of 50 A are chosen.
Correct operation of the RM6 is not guaranteed when using fuses from other
manufacturers.

b It has a simple front plate for local operation, which allows management of
electrical rating mechanisms (local/remote switch) and display of information
concerning switchgear status.
b It has an integrated MV network fault current detection system (overcurrent and
zero sequence) with detection set points that can be confgured channel by
channel (current value and fault current duration).
Medium Voltage switchgear operating guarantee
b Easergy T200 I has undergone severe MV electrical stress withstand tests.
b It is a backed up power supply which guarantees continuity of service for several
hours in case of loss of the auxiliary source, and supplies power to the Easergy
T200 I and the MV switchgear motor mechanisms.
b Ready to plug
v Easergy T200 I is delivered with a kit that makes it easy to connect the motor
mechanisms and collect measurements.
v The telecontrol cabinet connectors are polarized to avoid any errors during
installation or maintenance interventions.
v Current measurement acquisition sensors are of the split type (to facilitate
their installation) or of closed type mounted on RM6 bushings.
v Works with 24 Vdc and 48 Vdc motor units.

Please consult the Easergy T200 I documentation for any further information.

Automatic transfer systems
Because a MV power supply interruption
is unacceptable especially in critical applications,
an automatic system is required for MV source
transfer.
An ATS solution is made of:
2 VPIS-VO
Voltage sensor:
dedicated version of
VPIS with voltage output
signal.
2 VD23
Voltage detector: a relay
is activated when a loss
of voltage is detected
from the VPIS voltage
output signal.
2 CTs for FPI

From the digital input
coming from the VD23
and the FPI information,
T200 I takes the decision
to switch from one line to
the other.
Communication to
SCADA: optionally,
communication facilities
may be added.
Modems: PSTN,
Radio, GSM/GPRS/3G,
Ethernet,
Protocols: Modbus,
Modbus IP, IEC 870-5-
101 and 104,
DNP3, DNP3 IP,
Functions: dual port,
remote confguration,
For your peace of mind, RM6 gives automatic control
and management of power sources in your Medium
Voltage secondary distribution network with a short
transfer time (less than 10 seconds), guaranteeing
the hi-reliability of your installation.
Automatic control is performed by Easergy T200 I.
This T200 I device can also be used for remote control
with a wide range of modems and protocols.
By default, the T200 I is provided with the RS232

Network ATS (1/2): changeover between two MV network sources.
3 operating modes (selected from the T200 I Web server)
1 - Auto SW1 or Auto SW2 mode
In the event of a voltage loss on the distribution line in service (SW1), the ATS
changes over to the backup line (SW2) after a confgurable time delay (T1).
[opening of SW1, closing of SW2]
As soon as voltage returns on the main line (SW1), the ATS changes back to the
main line after a time delay (T2).
[opening of SW2, closing of SW1 if the paralleling option is not activated]
[closing of SW1, opening of SW2 if the paralleling option is activated]
2 - Semi-Auto SW1XVSW2
The ATS does not change back to the main line, except in the event of a voltage loss
on the backup line [opening of SW2, closing of SW1]
3 - Semi-Auto SW1VSW2 or Semi-Auto SW2VSW1
changes over to the backup line (SW2) after an adjustable time delay (T1).
The ATS maintains the backup line in service (SW2) irrespective of the voltage
on the two lines.

Generator ATS (1/2): changeover between a distribution system line and a generator.
3 operating modes
1 - Auto SW mode
In the event of a voltage loss on the distribution line in service (SW), after a time
delay T1, the ATS sends the opening command to SW and at the same time the
Generator start-up order.
The remaining operation of the changeover sequence depends on the confguration
of the Generator channel closing option:
b Case 1 Generator channel closing after Generator power on: the Generator
channel closing order is sent only when Generator voltage is detected.
b Case 2 Generator channel closing after Generator start-up order: immediately
after sending the Generator start-up order, the closing order is given to the
Generator channel, without waiting until the Generator is actually started.
[opening of SW, closing of SWG]
As soon as voltage returns on the main line (SW), after a time delay T2, the ATS
changes back to the main line and the generator stoppage order is activated.
[opening of SWG, closing of SW if the paralleling option is not activated]
[closing of SW, opening of SWG if the paralleling option is activated]
2 - Semi-Auto SWXVSWG
The ATS does not change back to the main line, except in the event of a voltage loss
on the generator due to generator stoppage or the opening of a switch upstream
of the SWG channel.
3 - Semi-Auto SWVSWG
In the event of a voltage loss on the distribution line in service (SW), after a time
delay T1, the ATS sends the opening command to SW and at the same time
the Generator start-up order.
The remaining operation of the changeover sequence depends on the confguration
of the Generator channel closing option:
b Case 1 Generator channel closing after Generator power on
b Case 2 Generator channel closing after Generator start-up order
[opening of SW, closing of SWG]
The ATS maintains the backup line in service (SWG) and there is no automatic return.
Characteristics
TR: switch response time
b Time delay before changeover (T1): confgurable from 0 s to 200 s in increments
of 100 ms (factory setting = 1 s).
This time delay is also used to delay return to the initial channel in Semi-Auto mode
SWXVSWG
b Time delay before return to the initial channel (T2)
b (Auto mode only). Confgurable from 0 s to 30 min. in increments of 5 s (factory
setting = 15 s).
b Tg1: Generator start-up, depending on the generator type, not confgurable
(max. waiting time: 60 s). If Tg1 is greater than 60 s, changeover is suspended.
b Tg2: Generator stoppage, depending on the generator type, not confgurable
(max. waiting time: 30 s).
Note: the generator stoppage command is sent 6 s after the end of changeover

Bus tie coupling (2/3): source changeover between 2 incoming lines (SW1 and SW2)
and a busbar coupling switch (SW3)
2 operating modes (selected from the Easergy T200 I confgurator)
1 - Standard mode
As soon as voltage returns on the main line (SW1), the ATS changes back to
the main line after a time delay (T2).
[opening of SW3, closing of SW1 if the paralleling option is not activated]
[closing of SW1, opening of SW3 if the paralleling option is activated]
2 - Mode with locking upon voltage loss after changeover
changes over to the backup line (SW2) after an adjustable time delay (T1).
[opening of SW1, closing of SW3].
Voltage presence is monitored during a confgurable period T3. If the voltage
disappears during this period, coupling switch SW3 is opened and the automatic
transfer system is locked.
Other functions
ATS in ON/OFF mode
The ATS system can be switched on or off from the local control panel (T200 I)
or remotely (Scada system).
When the ATS is OFF, the RM6 switches can be electrically actuated by local
or remote control (operation in parallel mode is therefore possible).
ATS in parallel mode upon Auto return
Activating this option enables paralleling of the channels by the automatic transfer
system, during the phase of automatic return to the priority channel.
To be used when the ATS is in Auto mode.
Application: synchronization of the voltages of the main power supply line and
the backup line allows return to the main line without any interruption.
Generator ON override command
Activation of the ATS and transfer on Generator can be activated upon an order:
remotely or through dedicated digital input.
Applications:
b Periodic maintenance tests of the ATS/Generator system
b Switch on Generator when the Network is overloaded.
During peak hours, and if network is overloaded, Utility can send a remote order that
will activate Generator. Having this facility, it will allow a private customer to negotiate
better tariff of electricity.

Selecting bushings and connectors
General
b The profles, contacts and dimensions of the RM6 connection interfaces are defned by the IEC 60137 standard.
b 100% of the epoxy resin interfaces undergo dielectric testing at power frequency and partial discharge tests.
b An insulated connector must used in order to guarantee the dielectric performance over time. Schneider Electric recommends using
nkt connectors.

Appropriateness for use
The bushings carry the electrical current from the outside to the inside
of the enclosure, which is flled with SF6 gas, ensuring insulation between
the live conductors and the frame.
There are 3 types of bushing, which are defned by their short-time withstand
current:
b Type A: 200 A: 12.5 kA 1 s and 31.5 kA peak (plug-in)
b Type B: 400 A: 16 kA 1 s and 40 kA peak (plug-in)
b Type C: 630 A: 25 kA 1 s, 21 kA 3 s and 62.5 kA peak (disconnectable M16).
How to defne the connection interface
The connection interfaces depend on specifc criteria, such as:
Installation
b Current rating of the connected equipment: 200, 400, 630 A
b Short-time withstand current for 12.5 kA, 16 kA, 25 kA switch and circuit breaker
functions
b For the fuse-switch combination function, as the short-circuit current is limited
by the fuse, the connection interface will be of type A (200 A)
b Minimum phase expansion length
b Connection type:
v plug in: multicontact ring
v disconnectable: bolted.
b Output position: straight, elbow.
Cable
b Specifed voltage:
v of the cable
v of the network.
b Type of conductor:
v aluminium
v copper.
b Cross section in mm

b insulation diameter
b Cable composition:
v single-core
v 3-core.
b Insulation type:
v dry
v paper impregnated (non-draining type).
b Type of screen
b Armature.
This information must be specifed for better defnition of the connection interfaces.
